What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this deck stain for its smooth application, even coverage, and durable finish. Most highlight how easily it applies with a brush or roller, dries quickly, and requires just one coat for professional results that enhance natural wood grain. Reviewers consistently report excellent weather and UV resistance, with many reapplying after years of reliable protection. The semi-transparent color options receive strong praise for their beautiful, natural appearance. A few mention preferring oil-based formulations or note isolated peeling cases, and some find the cost high, but most agree the quality justifies the investment.

Very good product

Would Recommend

I loved the product and the finish we ended with I will use it and recommend it to others the only negative thing is it didn't cover the square footage that it says you will get per gallon. But that's not a reason to not use it again.

Good Oil Base Stain

Would Recommend

Oil base stains are getting harder to get due to EPA regulations. More and more water base products are on the market. I feel this Cabot stain really penetrates the wood very well. I applied this product to pressure treated pine which I waited for 3 months before pressure cleaning with Cabot deck wash. Overall I am pleased with final results.
